I know, Flint. I know.

















Actually, that adage applies to everybody. I just returned from my eye doctor...his assistant was telling me her mother is dealing with colon cancer. They cut a hole in her so big that now she has NO control over her bowels. I asked if the large Depends work and the assist. said, "well, they get some of it....but, not all. My mother won't leave the house now; she's too embarrassed," and I felt like a complete ass for bitching about my situation. All I have to do is wear a wig when I go out---not wonder if my gut is going to slide down my legs...poor woman. I said a prayer for her then and there.
